SBU will conduct an examination of recordings of conversations of Hontareva’s deputy
The Security Service of Ukraine received a complaint from deputy Yevhen Murayev regarding an alleged removal of funds from Ukraine’s banking system.
The SBU is already studying the information set out in it, the agency’s spokeswoman Olena Hitlianska reported on Facebook.
"In particular, the relevant examinations of the recordings of telephone conversations provided by Murayev will be carried out," she clarified.
The SBU is also clarifying all the circumstances of a possible organization of illegal wiretapping – in accordance with Art. 359 of the Criminal Code.
As is known, on 9 November audio recordings of conversations were leaked to the media allegedly of the deputy head of the NBU, Kateryna Rozhkova, with adviser to the board chair of Platinum Bank Dmytro Zinkov and businessman Borys Kaufman regarding lobbying the interests of that bank. Allegedly they were the ones who pushed for the bankruptcy of Mykhailivskyi Bank.
On 10 November Rozhkova urged law enforcement agencies to check who and on what grounds is wiretapping her telephone conversations and then disclosing them. "Such provocations can negatively affect the condition of a particular bank, and ultimately the banking system as a whole," she said.
Rozhkova explained that she is constantly in dialogue with "problem" banks.
In October Rozhkova was subjected to a search in connection with frauds at Mykhailivskyi Bank – and her mobile phone was seized.
The leader of Batkivshchyna, Yulia Tymoshenko, has already stated that the recordings of conversations of NBU leadership "with the leaders of a Russian bank" have been added to a complaint to the SBU regarding the increasing presence of Russian banks in Ukraine.
Tymoshenko also asserts that National Bank chair Valeria Hontareva has already destroyed 84 banks, and through the efforts of the head of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, Kostiantyn Vorushylin, the assets of the liquidated banks were valued at 99 billion UAH instead of 448 billion UAH.
